These are examples of how our customers, who soon become our cherished friends and colleagues, have made small changes to what they select for use as mortar and stucco in their applications in order to save extreme amounts of CO2 emissions into our environment.

They are doing this by making Green, "Eco-Friendly" choices and using our full range of Natural Hydraulic Lime, (NHL), Mortars, Stucco, Lime Paint and Lithomex brick and stone fabricating/ patching material. Our products replace the Ordinary Portland Cement, (OPC), used as the conventional binder in building mortar and stucco and substitute it with pure and natural hydraulic limes for many benefits including extreme CO2 savings.

Andy, These are pictures of my project. As you can imagine I am quite happy. Your mortar was
a joy to work with, fluffy. It was well handy to mix up a batch with the premixed bag. A convenient size to carry and to use up. Most of the brick are stiles and hart. A very hard brick that I found do not need wetting before use. Whereas the brick around the firebox are antique and were laid as wet as I could make them to develop the proper suction. The firebrick were laid in the proper refractory mortar. The stone in the lintel and
hearth is from nearby Ashfield Stone Co. The firebox was finished in August, I finished outside about three weeks ago. At what point would I start having my small fires? Well for now I'll close. I still have about 15 bags. I'm interested in trying to plaster on some wooden lath. Good luck and thanks, Fred
